No withdrawal headache today :D

I did have a bit of a crash around 5. I sat down and fell asleep :p I may just need another dose.

Is macca root good for someone who doesn't have adrenal fatique or getting close to menopause? Will I still get a boost?

I guess it would depend. Because of its vitamin and mineral content I would guess yes unless you are getting enough nutrients already. Since most food you buy in the store is grown in depleted soils, the odds of you getting all the micronutrients you need are not good. In that case maca would still help.

I can get it in bulk at the hippy-infested health food store. If you can find a place like that you could just buy a little to start with and see how you do.

Just a quick side note...part of the boost effect I can actually feel on my scalp. Weird...I know, but I do feel it in and on my head! :p

Day 2. Sipping my kefir cocktail and watching the news. Trying to get psyched up to go let the ducks out.

No headache. Still a little sleepy, but I worked late last night.

You know yesterday, not only did I not have caffeine, I had NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS.

If this keeps working, I am going to have to learn how to make this stuff. The only place with descent kefir is about 40 minutes round trip.

I checked the local grocery stores for kefir and if they do have it, it is low fat, full of fillers, and loaded with sugar. :sick

That'll be my next adventure. Making yogurt and kefir. Since I'm utterly unmotivated about green things pretending to try to grow on my north facing patio.... It's still 40 this week. That's probably part of the lack of motivation. heh.

:)

Let's DO it auntie!

I have done yogurt many times with good success. I only had 1 fail where the yogurt didn't set but I just poured that in to a cream soup so it didn't go to waste :D

We should be able to get some grains. Do they have any at the hippy-infested place where you get milk?

Not that I've seen, but I'll take a look around. I bet we could convince some kindly soul here to send us some :D
